Default really small battery

Hey guys, I need a battery that is no more then 30mm's wide, no thicker than 25mm's, and no longer then 80mm's. It is for a scale crawler 1/10th scale. It has scx10 transmission and axles. If its possible I like the power of a 3S 2200mah lipo. The connector needs to be a deans. And it has to ship to Canada. What would you suggest? Thanks.

Sorry for all the questions LOL.

I was going to buy these Bonka Power Bonka Power 850mAh 3S 45C / 70C 11.1V Wit XT60 BK/BK850-45-3S .Then they emailed me and said shipping was $27.00 USD which is $36.25 CAD. So thats to much for me

Go to HobbyKing and use their LiPo finder. That should get you what you need.

EDIT: This is a link to batteries with the size you requested: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/lipo.htm...height_b=0-25&

That's odd. They ship pretty much everywhere else in the world.

I use a Venom 1300mah 50C 3S pack in my GCM Skeleton which is incredibly tight. Picture a Mamba Micro X, BEC, receiver, winch controller, all associated wiring crammed on that plate next to the motor.



Normally Venom packs aren't on my radar but I needed a battery and my LHS had it in stock. They are quite common so I'm sure you can find a shop in Canada or you can order from Tower. I'm really glad I picked it up because it is significantly smaller than my Turnigy packs of similar specs. They are a little wider than 30mm but I find a 1300mah battery gets a very good amount of runtime (about an hour of trail driving per pack), it would be worth the effort to make a slightly larger pack fit whatever you are building.

Thanks but I'm mounting them on the rock sliders and I only have 30mms. That won't fit.

Thats weird

Hey guys, I have another question. A lot of the 800mAh and lower mAh batteries have little plugs, like the JST. My question is, can I solder on a deans connector? So I can plug it into my ESC.

Also, how can I have two batteries running at the same time? I would like to do this so I have more power and run time, since the batteries are so small.

Thanks for all the help!

850mah, 3s, 35c, deans.

Length:* 54mm
Width: 30mm
Height: 24mm
Weight: 2.5 oz.

Team Brood Racing :: Batteries :: Lipo :: 850 mAh Batteries :: Pure Energy 850 mAh 3s

To answer your other questions, yes you can solder any plug connector on a battery. And connecting 2 batterys, your option is series or parallel. Series will double your cells so two 3s, would be 6s. Parallel is double your run time. So two 1000mah would be 2000mah.

The shipping is to much. Ill just trie to find one at the LHS.

Hay guys, do you guys think I should mount the battery in the back instead of the rock sliders? Then if I do that it would be easier to find a battery. Or do you think I should keep looking for one to fit in the rock sliders?


Do you think there would be to much weight in the back?

Thanks

I can only speak from personal experience - but I just bought a few small venoms from amazon.ca

Great price - warrantied for life - and good fit I got a 3S 30C 2200 that is probably just a nick too big

But the have an 1100 with multi connector

More options if go 2S
